SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule is a powerful blend of Retinol and Retinal to improve firmness and texture, delivered through a Boosting Shot system for deeper absorption and visibly stronger skin. This high-performance ampoule combines the active ingredients in micro-sized spicules (avg. 13μm)—smaller than the average pore size—to maximize absorption and efficacy. The spicules create micro-pathways to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin and enhances ingredient absorption. Its stretchy, elastic formula wraps tightly around the skin, delivering intense hydration for firm, glowing skin.
How It Works – 3-Step Delivery System
STEP 1: Creates absorption pathways with micro-sized Boosting Shot spicules
STEP 2: Delivers Retinol, Retinal, and Squalane deep into the skin
STEP 3: Restores elasticity and strengthens the barrier for smooth, resilient skin
